SPECIFICATION forming'v part of Inetters Patent'No. 224,429,

Application filed May 23, 1879.

To all 'whom t ma/y concern:

Beit known that I, HENRY H. HENDERSON,

of New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, have invented an Improvement in Sectional Store-Counters, of which the following is a speeication.

The invention relates to means forsnpporting the hinged covers of the sections; and it consists in two jointed bars or` rods, one pivoted on the inside and the other provided with an end eye that slides on akeeper attached to the under side of the cover, in combination with a notched cam on the inside of one end of the section, so that the pivoted rod catchesl behind the shoulder when the cover is opened and holds it iirmly in position.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a vertical lon gi-` tudinal section; Fig. 2, a vertical cross-sec- In the draWings,A represents a counter-sec-l tion forming a-close boX, on wheel-s, and a. the

cover, which is hinged so as to be swung back.

dated February 10, 1880.

Y l b b are two rods or bars jointed together, the former beingpivoted to one of the sides, and

theA latter having an end eye through which passes the'keeper a' on the bottom of the cover.

c is a canrwhich gradually rises and suddenly ceases altogether, so as to form ashoulderbehind which the rod b passes as soon as `the coveris thrown back, and securely retains -it in position.

, What I claim as new and of my invention 1s y The hinged cover of a sectional counter, provided on` its under side with a keeper, to', in-

cornbination with a notched cam, c', at one end Lof box-section andthe jointed rods b b', the

Y rod b having an end eye that slides on keeper,

`asshown and described.
